Since Microsoft became the first big foreign company to set up shop in Hyderabad in 1998, the southern Indian city has emerged as an IT hub to rival the outsourcing mecca of Bangalore. Home to more than 200 IT multinationals today, its success has earned it the nickname ‘Cyberabad.’ But it has earned the attention of terrorists as well.

Terror attacks are becoming more and more in india. The key economic hubs of Mumbai, Bangalore and Coimbatore have all been attacked in recent years, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people. Since 2004 India has lost more lives to terrorism than any country other than Iraq.
